Man, it's been a long road of just figuring out our style and how to go about being a band. There were a couple of proto-Colour bands that fell apart before Colour was a thing. Out of these bands, Colour grew through guitarist Tim Wuyts and bassist Thomas Segaert. The whole point of the band is to be a kind of "outsider art" band. We take inspiration from other bands, but we've never tried going for a specific style in order to be picked up by the scene of a specific sub-genre. Sounds based, maybe, but we've always been too sludgy and riff-y to fit into the prog scene, but too far out and experimental for the DOOM scene. Result:
We don't seem to fit in anywhere We get it, there's no highways to places no one has ever been, so we have to pave our own road! To that end, we've set up a yearly festival named "Colourfest" for other bands that don't fit in. Furthermore, instead of hoping for label support we just do everything ourselves: recording, mixing, mastering, artwork, ... All this barely scratches the surface of all of the lessons we've learned and all the things we've been up to the past year, but that's pretty much the general vibe of our past.
These days we've found our footing with the upcoming release of the second Colour album named "the Traveller", which will be released on March 7th. Now we're focusing on consistency, recording regularly, given potential fans something to sink their teeth into. Whatever happens, Colour will keep going!

What can people expect from your music?
A no-bad-ideas attitude atop a foundation of dope shit, good grooves, good sounds. It may take a couple listens to really get into it, but when you're at that point, you realize there's no other band like Colour, and no substitute for it either.
